NonStop Operations Guide for H-Series and J-Series RVUs

cpu-range
is one of these:
cpu cpu-cpu
cpu
is the processor number, an integer from 0 through 15.
cpu-cpu
is two processor numbers separated by a hyphen, specifying a range of processors.
In a range specification, the first processor number must be less than the second.
option
is one of these:
NOSWITCH [PRIME|NOPRIME] fabric OMITSLICE [A|B|C] $volume
[.sysnn.osdir]
NOSWITCH
specifies that, when a processor is reloaded, there is no default autoswitch of
controller ownership to the configured primary processor.
[PRIME|NOPRIME]
Sets up the logical processor for the reload operation. NOPRIME is the default.
fabric
specifies whether the X fabric or Y fabric is used for the transfer of the operating
system image to the processor during the RELOAD operation.
0 = X fabric 1 = Y fabric
The default option is the X fabric.
OMITSLICE [A|B|C]
The PE on the selected Blade Element will not be reloaded when other PEs in that
logical processor are reloaded. If you do not provide an argument (A or B or C)
the system will choose a Blade Element to omit.
$volume [.sysnn.osdir]
specifies a volume other than $SYSTEM where the operating system image
(sysnn.osdir) to be used for reloading the processor is located.
Depending on your requirements, this specification could take the form of $volume
or $volume.sysnn.osdir or sysnn.osdir or osdir.
*
specifies that all failed processors should be reloaded.
8. Check the TACL window for status messages, which will report successes or errors during the
load. Monitor the state of the processor you are loading until it is executing the NonStop
Kernel operating system.
9. If the load fails, check the parameters and reload the processor. If the load fails again, contact
your service provider.
Using the OSM Service Connection to Perform Reload
For NonStop NS16000 series and NS14000 series systems, the OSM Service Connection provides
a Reload action on the Logical Processor object. You can perform the action on a single or multiple
processors. The OSM action lets you reload an entire processor or omit a Blade Element from the
reload action so you can dump the PE for that Blade Element before reintegrating it into the running
processor. The OMITSLICE parameter applies only to NonStop NS16000 series and NS14000
series systems.
• To reload a single processor:
1. Select the Logical Processor object for the processor you want to reload.
